Metalwest had a big problem with condensation and needed a big solution. Four Powerfoil X fans eliminated condensation and saved them $300,000 in one year. Read More.
Both large and small manufacturing centers face the same issue: varying temperatures year round which can negatively affect product integrity, energy costs and employee comfort. Results from NASA studies indicate that once temperatures reach 70° F, productivity begins to decline†. A strong correlation also exists between heat and work-related accidents. Keeping workers comfortable not only increases productivity, but keeps them safer. Powerfoil X can lower the effective temperature reducing heat related accidents† while improving overall comfort. Even when ceiling obstructions prevent installation, Big Ass Fans has you covered. The oscillating 6-ft Pivot 180 can mount to a column and cover a large area while the AirGo and Yellow Jacket pack a punch with big airflow in small, mobile packages.

Over the past decade energy costs for large manufacturing facilities has increased dramatically. This increase has sparked interest in heat destratification as a way to improve heating system efficiency while maintaining employee comfort throughout the winter. Stratification occurs when hot air rises and escapes through the roof, leaving colder air on the floor. When floor-to-ceiling temperatures can vary by as much as 30 degrees, and air movement is nonexistent, your employee's safety and bottom-line are at risk. Our fans have proven to be an effective way to equalize the air temperature between floor and ceiling levels, contributing significantly to heating efficiency and increased energy savings. In the winter, destratifying the space with Big Ass Fans can reduce heating costs by an average of 30%.
With temperature swings, condensation occurs naturally in spaces with concrete flooring. This condensation build-up negatively affects products including corrugated boxes and metal and can become a serious safety hazard for forklift drivers as floors become too wet. In addition to providing comfort and energy savings, Big Ass Fans minimize condensation problems by circulating the air, creating a drier, safer workplace.
